Between the change in presidential administration and multiple pressing issues on the global and domestic front, the U.S. federal government has its hands full. New polling by Eagle Hill Consulting has found that federal workers are feeling the effects of their stressful workloads.
According to the 2020 Eagle Hill Consulting Federal Employee Experience survey, which polled 509 respondents from federal employees nationwide in December 2020, the majority of federal employees (57 percent) report feeling burnt out, with one in three citing COVID-19 circumstances as the culprit.
Supervisors and senior executives reported some of the highest levels of fatigue, with 70 percent reporting feeling burned out. Of that cohort, 43 percent attributed it to the COVID-19 pandemic.
